i Light Singapore 2019: Where To Go For The Best Instagrams

Your nights are about to be all bright with the biggest edition of i Light happening this year. The annual light show extends from the Singapore River all the way to Fort Canning for the first time this year, and spans 33 light installations and a spectacular multimedia show inspired by Singapore's history and stories.

Included in the programme for the first time, the historic Raffles Terrace at Fort Canning Park will also welcome visitors with highlights such as local music acts, roving performances, movie screenings, as well as guided tours of the historic Fort Canning Hill.

So, put on your walking shoes and get ready to walk back 200 years in history. This year's extravaganza is, after all, held in conjunction with the Singapore Bicentennial. Keep your eyes peeled for these highlights, or should we say, ilights.
